More Webra problems

[Jerry Budd]

Tony,

I wouldn't suggest drawing such a conclusion about a motor based on 
observations at one contest.  I could make the exact same statement 
about the YS DZ's based on what I saw at the Nats, and I don't think 
anybody would dispute that YS has had some great motors over the 
years.

Maybe I'm just extremely fortunate, but I had 6 Webra 61RE's with 
DynaMix carbs back in the 80's and they all ran very well.  The Webra 
145's and 160's I've run the past few years have performed every bit 
as reliable if not better.  Every motor can have its problems, at the 
02 Nats I didn't get a flight off on Monday in Masters because of 
OS140RX carb mid-range transition problems.

To be honest, most of the time when I see a problem with a motor, 
it's an operator error (me included), either in not setting up the 
motor properly, or misdiagnosing a motor system problem (again me 
included).  I tend not to place blame on a motor design until there 
is a large database of credible user info that suggests a systemic 
problem.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Jerry
